U.S. Air Force Command & Control (C2) systems host dozens of communications systems operating on aircraft ranging from business class to larger commercial passenger based derivatives. Many of these communication systems will operate in the same or similar frequency bands. This can lead to co-channel (co-site) interference among those channels. These effects are mitigated in a number of ways, including filtering. The objective of this Sources Sought is to obtain information on filtering solutions that can support a new waveform operating in the UHF band while providing the performance required to meet intelligibility requirements on a business class jet.
